[G Tablet General] filterking:
the Xoom is super, but

I miss my Gtab. Wednesday night what I thought was my bullet proof Gtablet had an encounter with my floor. It was short fall from my lap as I had fallen asleep on my couch with the tab in my lap, it slide down a blanket helping reduce the impact.

The Gtab landed display face down. It really was a minor hit, causing me great surprise to see that it would not boot. After investigating further I found it is booting the display is all white.I assume the display is gone.

So, I decide on ordering a Xoom. The xoom is fantastic, the display is sharp and crisp with great color, large viewing angle. better in every way than the in house Ipad. I compared the two under an 8X Loupe the Xoom has much better Acutance and color saturation than the Ipad. Blazing fast, really a great unit, but I miss my Gtab the screen didn't really bother me. Side by side with the Xoom really does show how bad the display is. I still want her back.:D

Bottom line I hope to replace or repair my Gtab, I will keep the Xoom for work. The Gtab is my toy. Thanks to the great developers on this forum, I have enjoyed that tablet for hours in the evening the last updates had her running sweet. If we are fortunate enough to get HC ported by the guys here it will only be that much better.

Yes the Xoom is a much better unit, given the price it should be. Is it 2 times better no, but that extra 10% to 20% seems to come with a substantial premium with technology and automobiles. The gtab is still the bargain king in my opinion. Looking forward to have a working gtab soon.

To the OP if your going to ditch that gtab shoot me a pm with a price:)
[G Tablet General] Newanzer:
I'm curious, how are you planing on using the Xoom? I use my Gtab as a remote desktop interface for my office computer. I spend most of my time running from office to office and never get back to my own where I have the network authority to do my job. It has been a real time saver - once VPN encryption was shoehorned back into the kernel (thank you again Clemsyn). Other than this one function, I really do not have a use for a tablet.
[G Tablet General] FreaKaDroidXYZ:
Xoom's pricing wouldn't be so bad if they can just get their Wifi only version out! I jumped on the Moto coupon deal but it was too late.
[G Tablet General] manikin13:
The hardware is definitely a step above the gtab, especially with the camera's, and the screen if you put that at about 125$, and about 100$ for the GPS, and 3G/4G your at just about 600$. I would probably jump at the deal but cant justify another 10 in tab unless it is an unbelievable deal.
[Atrix 4G General] TurnipTruck:
Greetings,

Sorry if this is a bit noob.

I installed superoneclick onto my Atrix and do have the Superuser in the applications list.

However, I still can't install any 3rd party aps. The same security warning comes up as before. Also, the unusable option to allow sideloads that used to be there is now gone.

Is there a step I'm missing?

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G General] edgeicator:
Yes. You skipped step 8 in the guide for rooting.

Before rebooting, click “Allow Non Market Apps” in SuperOneClick
[Atrix 4G General] TurnipTruck:
That was it. Thanks!

I just foreward this from a thread I saw in Xoom forum!

SetCPU updated!

I set my CPU to 1000mhz at screen on and the stock kernel quadrant test give me a boot from 1700 to 1900

Waiting for custom rom that can scale this beast further like Xoom's! (1.5GHz so far and Quandrant 3100 on average....)

NICE! Something tells me though the Xoom is going to get a lot more love than the streak.. I mean it's been out a week and already they have more dev going on for it than the streak :(

If I knew how to dev on android I would do some work on custom roms but I'm a windows dev :cool:

[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
Quandrant is not capable of dual core cpu yet.

You can try clear its data and force stop and then run again. watch CPU benchmark make sure it is running 13/13. otherwise it wont submit test resutls.
[Dell Streak 7] jiwengang:
overheating because of setCPU?

Not sure where the CPU of streak 7 is located.

Today the streak 7 restarted probably due to overheat as I feel low right side of the device gets a little hot.

I then force stop SetCPU and restarted the S7 now it seems fine.

not completely isolate the cause yet, but does anyone have similar issue? (after setting profile 1000/1000 for screen on ?

Three possible reasons for the overheating-> restart

1. setCPU

2. JuiceDefender beta 3.4.3 (but it has been there for a week and there was no such incidents before)

3. new SDHC card (32GB class sd card was installed 3 days ago and I got some restarts since then ... hmmm)

Any tips to look at please help.

I checked logcat, did not find any direct link ..
[Nook Color General] sark666:
I haven't tried any of them yet, but it seems 2.2 or 2.3 or 3.0 have issues or are rough around the edges. It's understandable with honeycomb, but I thought by now there might have been a solid, stable 2.2 or 2.3.

Not complaining, but just thought something would be better than the stock 2.1 by this point. I was hoping for a speed increase with 2.2+ as there are some android git optimizations that 2.1 lacks, but yet I read that 2.1 for nc is still the most responsive.
[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
Many people have reported much better bechmark scores with 2.2 and 2.3, and overall the feeling from those who run 2.2 or 2.3 is that they are more snappy than the stock 2.1. So far as being faster, the custom builds are probably generally better.

However, in terms of stability and compatibility it is my humble opinion that the stock 2.1 is still the winner. The CM7 build of 2.3 is getting pretty close, but still lacks some pretty important features. They will get there eventually...probably pretty soon....but I actually use my device quite heavily (at home and for work) and don't want to have to deal with 'minor' issues on a daily basis. I think that the Froyo build is going to fall out of favor - the CM7 build is better, more updated, and much more supported by the CM7 team with nightly builds. I am not sure about Honeycomb...haven't heard any real updates there in a while.

I am waiting for most of the wrinkles to get worked out for the CM7 version of 2.3. They do great work and if past performance is any indication once they get a solid and stable build it will be hard to beat. For now, my overclocked version of 2.1 does everything I want, is extremely stable, has very few software compatibility problems, and is certainly fast enough.
[Nook Color General] sark666:
Thanks for the reply. You say the froyo build is probably going to fall out of favour over the cm7 build. Isn't the cm7 build based on froyo?
[Nook Color General] thedjo:
CM7 build is based on Gingerbread.
[Nook Color General] jhanford:
CM7 is based on 2.3 which is Gingerbread (Froyo is 2.2)

Confusingly, the upcoming 2.4 is also Gingerbread (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_version_history)

EDIT: What he said! ^
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
As of this time, for day to day stable use, stock rooted. That's my opinion. Too many quirks and resets and "can't boot again" and other misc stuff that seems to randomly happen on the rest.

That'll change eventually, hopefully soonish, I would really love me some solid Froyo. :)
[Nook Color General] poofyhairguy:
But right now the Froyo build is where its at. CM7 lacks working Youtube among other things. With the current Froyo build you get speed, working Youtube, and many working apps.
[Nook Color General] s52m3:
Stock rooted has no Flash correct? :( I think I'll be waiting until CM7 is finalized before I start rooting anything.
[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
I have plenty of speed on 2.1 overclocked at 1.1ghz, my YouTube works just fine (the app that is), and I have yet to find an app I want that doesn't work that would work on Froyo.

Yes...no Flash...but from what I have heard the Flash on Froyo is far from perfect...a bit choppy at best. Actually, no Flash is not quite correct...there is an older version of Flash that runs on 2.1 (Flash 9.something)...so you can veiw some older Flash content on the stock Eclair.

To each their own...
[Nook Color General] swoozle:
Can't fine that damn grail ANYWHERE

It amazes me that people say this. Not saying they are wrong, I just wonder what magic nooks they are using that I don't have.

I've tried two different cards (a class 4 and a class 10, which really is class 10 fast) on two different nooks (mine and my wife's) and almost a dozen different install attempts of 0.6.7. and 0.6.8 and they have all been less "snappy".

It took me quite awhile to even get decent wifi speeds, and I still don't know what I did differently to get it right on the last install (different cards, different nooks, different wifi routers, clear-market-caching and clear-framework-data-ing till I'm blue in the face didn't do it).

I get back on my rooted BN1.1 eclair and breath a sigh of relief at the improved responsiveness and usability. Does anyone know what the secret sauce is to get froyo to REALLY feel better?

That said, I'm more than happy with the 2.1 nook; it's a great tablet and loads of fun. The dev community is fantastic and I've had a ball with all of the experimentation. Keep it up!
[Nook Color General] wintwelve:
Can I ask whether a 10-min youtube playback is choppy in your nc? Cause mine is choppy sometimes...
[Nook Color General] survivor_evil:
I tried nookie froyo and it was really slow. Stock rom is much faster and reliable. I've heard honeycomb runs much better than froyo. I've seen videos and it looks good. The only think i can complain about stock rom is the lack of flash player
[Nook Color General] thustra:
I've tried stock rooted, sdcard froyo, and emmc froyo, and I've run into minor issues/flaws with all of them, but the current emmc froyo (for me, at least) has the least amount of problems and the speed over slow eclair and my class 4 sdcard made it worth flashing. It's currently my daily driver.

If/when official CM7 comes out with, I'll probably give it a whirl, but I'm happy with my froyo build right now.
[Nook Color General] will75:
Maybe it'll bite me eventually... But i just put froyo 2.2 on my nook, and it runs so much better off the internal memory
[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
I don't use YouTube much...but when I have used it I do not notice any problems. I am sure that it depends on the quality of the video, but I have played cartoon episodes that are several minutes long without any delays or playback problems.
[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
I agree on all accounts. I also have played with Froyo and Honeycomb on SD and have not personally seen the speed improvements others have reported. Perhaps it is better if installed to internal memory.
[Nook Color General] wethead4:
Definitely better installed to emmc. Been through Stock rooted, nookie 0.6.8, and HC. HC is sweet, softkeys and interface are great. but lack of key apps in the market is a bummer. nookie 0.6.8 ver 3 has been my everyday driver, no complaints over here.
[Nook Color General] xwint3rxmut3x:
I'm using cm7, nightly 7 and I like it better than stock. It does feel a bit snappier (but honestly I never had any issues with speed on rooted 2.1 so it could be in my head.) I know there's no DSP, but I don't plan on watching movies any time soon so that's fine for me. I like the UI alot...I like having built in copy/paste, I like having flash, and I like not having to worry about BN pushing out updates that could screw up my root. I'm only a few days into having used CM7, but as of now I'm really happy with my choice.
[Nook Color General] MechaGen:
I've been running Honeycomb v4 2ed on a development Nook for awhile. I think it shows great potential! But the Nook I take with me is 1.1.0 with a 1.1ghz kernel. Fast, stable & very reliable.

I have to say. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Honeycomb AOSP drop! This thing is going to be Great.
[Nook Color General] Double C:
I'm really enjoying stock 1.1 rooted. It has everything I could ask for in a value tablet and more. (Browsing, video, music, apps) The stability has been great...knock on wood. I was hell bent on buying an iPad before I purchased the nook color. I dont think I'll need an ipad, or anything else for that matter anymore.
[Nook Color General] getllamasfast:
I think they're talking about emmc installs vs SD card installs.
[Nook Color General] akarol:
I'm surprised noone has come up with a table/chart showing linpack, Quadrant, mAh consumption between each ROM. Wouldn't be hard since there aren't that many options for NC. It would be tremendously helpful!
[Nook Color General] xdajunkman:
Unfortunately, as some of the above posts attest, these numbers seem to vary wildly between users. I have seen some outrageous Quadrant scores posted by people running Froyo, only to be un-reproducible by other users. There must, then, be a lot of other variables that we don't know to take into account. We know that the brand and rating of SD card used matters (if not booting from internal memory), and obviously whether or not you are running an overclock kernal, and which one (I think there are three OC kernels for every build). These variables alone would affect benchmark scores and power consumption, as some of the OC kernels run at a slight over-voltage. Then you obviously have to take into account software installed by the user - different configurations of SetCPU will have a tremendous affect, and things like some auto task-killers can actually cause battery drain and consume resources.

In short, someone who really likes thier setup is likely to be able (perhaps through extensive tweaking) to give numbers that look really good, but are nearly impossible to reproduce. Someone who has tried the same setup and does not like it could very easily report dismal scores.

Thanks guys this is driving me crazy
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
default should be sdcard, I didn't think it was possible to store internally
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
As NewZJ said, they should already be on your sdcard...But you can use astro or root explorer to make a new folder, and then set that as the destination.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exek215:
mmm weird because I use to have about 60 megabytes left on my internal. today was my son's first birthday so I took some video. just now I tried to download a few apps and it says that I have no memory left in my internal storage... check ed apps to sd and there are no apps to move... all I did today was take some video and a few pics
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Did you try moving them manually?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Yea there is no way for pics/videos from the stock camera to be stored internally. Its not even an option.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Try using a cache cleaning app if you need more space, if I go a couple weeks without cleaning my cache it gets pretty big.

As others said, the Evo automatically stores pictures & videos on the sd card. You can check storage for both in Settings > SD & Phone Storage or something like that.

is the camera lag still on eb13? i dont know if i should flash from dk28 to eb13? if i do this ill use the samsung tool.
[Epic 4G General] kryptoniteman:
Search the development section there is a custom kernel in there that takes 30 secs to flash that fixes the problem. The dev that fixed it also explains it in detail.
[Epic 4G General] -javier-:
thank so for your fast response, if i do the fix will i be able to receive OTA once they fix the actual issue?

On the Epic it is like going from fat32 to NTFS in Windows. I finally made the jump this weekend to EXT4 and am never going back to rfs. Just faster and more responsive.
[Epic 4G General] s9ortner:
Is the bluetooth still broken? The how to article on android central says the conversion breaks bluetooth, is that true?
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
I used it while I was on dk28. I noticed a huge jump in data processing. At least 300% uncrease. But what made me jump back to rfs was the random boot ups along with failing processes. But I'm back on it with eb13. Does anyone know if the random boots are gone? I'm on my 3rd day on ext and game not gotten any random boots.
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
Been rock solid for me.
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Same here
[Epic 4G General] Esteway.619:
Bluethooth works fine for me. I never had issues even with dk28
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
The conversion broke bluetooth for me. Had to clear data to fix it. Never had issues on CWM 3.0.0.5, but when I converted using CWM 3.0.0.6, Bluetooth FC .
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
more efficient means battery savings?
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
can i convert and restore with CWM?
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
The conversion will automatically backup your system and data before it converts to ext4, and restore it afterward. As long as you are using a ext4 compatible kernel, you should be good to go.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
nice!!! while the rom itself is basically stock the kernel is genocide .3

good to go?

will i see battery savings?
[Epic 4G General] spf2722:
Never had a problem with ext4 and eb13. I am using both with genocide kernal and data from dk28 nandroid of bonsai.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
does ext4 bring battery life savings?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
What do you mean clear data? Please explain I have that issue. Also it added 400 in quadrant. Yes way better battery.

Epic 4g
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
Why is my question being ignored
[Epic 4G General] bjhill2112:
Don't think anyone knows for 100%. The theory is that Ext4 with journaling turned off (like CWM 3 will do) does less writes. Less writes means less power consumption so you should see better battery life. Don't think anyone has done any actual analysis of what the savings is though.
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
Would the conversion save everything cuz my rom is odexed ima use a deodexed eb13 Odin rom with ext 4
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Basically, I couldn't figure out how to fix it other than a factory reset.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Yes, the conversion saves everything.
[Epic 4G General] 1greek4u:
This might be a dumb question:

I'm in the process of using ODIN to flash the EB13/CWM3/RFS combo. I'm going to be flashing Midnight ROM over this.

When converting to RFS, does one need to format and convert the SD card also?

Thanks,

Today after a 5 hr usage I checked my battery usage, with screen on full brightness, it was using 62% of the battery and I noticed swype was using 7%. Now this seems pretty high usage to me for a keyboard.

Is this usage normal or is it using too much? Also is 5 hours with screen on max, some data usage and music playing for about an hour, us this decent or is anyone getting better.

If so, what are you doing to keep the battery running longer
[G Tablet General] freddroid:
As I read about what works (and mostly what does not work) out of the box with the new tablets hitting the market, I am reminded every time I boot my gTablet (or use Flash or browse Market) how far the xda developers have taken my meager $400 hardware investment with their FREE custom firmwares.

TnT 4.2.4 does everything I could want, and from the comments I read on the other ROMs, most everyone is thrilled with the other options too.

Thank you, developers.

Well said.

I feels the same, thanks to all developers, your hard work made our G tab so great.

BTW, is there possible if any devs could write a simple guide to tell how to build a rom?

I know it is not likely that it could be easily explained, all i want is some thing like "how to start, what to read".

Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
This is still pretty relevant - hasn't really changed much:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=854175

I know I've said this before, but I'm not a developer - I've tried to be one in the past and I stink at it. But, I'm pretty good at troubleshooting and packaging - thus my mods reflect that. If you've ever read my TNT Lite first post, I'm thanking people left and right for helping me out.

That updater-script is really the main tool to learn, and there's nothing really documented (I have looked). Like anything else, you can start with what someone else has done and then built on it - that's what I did.

And a LOT of trial and error. If you make a mod (or three), expect that your device will spend most of its time in "testing mode". It goes with the territory, I suppose.
